The United Nations unanimously approved sanctions Friday against Haiti’s most powerful gang boss who is blocking fuel and aid to the impoverished country for a sixth week as it struggles with a cholera outbreak and increasing hunger. The U.N. resolution calls for member nations to freeze gang leader Jimmy Cherizier’s assets and ban him from their countries.

Ambassador to the U.N., Linda Thomas-Greenfield , had called Monday for a non-U.N. mission led by a yet-to-be-named country.

The government said last week that it would end $400 million in subsidies for gasoline, diesel and kerosene, doubling the price to consumers. Thousands of Haitians took to the streets in protest, erecting road barricades of rocks, furniture, wood, burning tires and old refrigerators.
